This page is part of a list of original releases by release date of international commercially-released regular stereo Dylan albums. They do not contain rarities or obscurities and are not eligible for the Searching For A Gem list. Nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means they're worth listing here - as far as I know some are not included on any other Internet site. Promo releases of regular albums are now listed here and no longer in the former yearly Promo sections. |

This album is of course the exception to that, as it's the only one in the
Dylan catalogue that has ever been deleted! The album is still listed on the
bobdylan.com
albums page.
Although I've submitted a correction, A Fool Such As I is still wrongly listed on bobdylan.com
as having been written by Buford Abner - it was actually written by Bill Trader,
see here. The 3CD set released in Oct 2007 is
also called Dylan! Thanks to "Isis" magazine, Dec 2012, for news of The Bootleg Series Vol. 10
- Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), a 2CD set of
more out-takes
from the Self Portrait sessions. This does not after all include any
tracks from the long-deleted 1973 Dylan album. For
more information, see
.
However,
The Complete Album Collection Vol. One,
released in Oct 2013 (see
International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 2010s), does include the album!
If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to
existing entries, please let me know!
Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities -

Original US stereo LP, Columbia PC 32747, 16 Nov 1973 This album (nicknamed "Columbia's Revenge") was released by Columbia without Bob's authorisation during the period when Bob was with Asylum/Island, and consists of entirely of covers, out-takes from Self Portrait (two) and New Morning (seven). Before its inclusion in The Complete Album Collection Vol. One in Nov 2013 it had never been released on CD in the USA or UK, although CD versions were released in Japan in 1990 and mainland Europe in 1991. A cassette version was long available in the USA, but it was deleted in the UK much earlier. |
 |
 |
According to Rod MacBeath's article "Looking Up Dylan's Sleeves (Part 3)" in "The Telegraph" 52, Summer 1995, the front design is a serigraph (a type of silk screen print) by Richard Kenerson based on a photo of Bob by Al Clayton that first appeared on the inside of the gatefold sleeve of Self Portrait in 1970. The rear design is credited to John Berg, who presumably took the photograph of what looks like a river bed or a rock face which is merged with the blow-up of Al Clayton's photo. |

An earlier version of the album dated 5 Oct 1973 has a different track listing:
The order of the released album is:

Because the album was long deleted, it is also listed in 1973. Even more out-takes are included on the very limited 3CD set 50th Anniversary Collection 1970, see 2020.
Track Details and Writer Credits
R-0097 Lily Of The West (traditional, arranged E. Davies/J. Peterson) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 3 Jun 1970
| R-0100 Can't Help Falling In Love (Hugo Peretti/Luigi Creatore/George David Weiss) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 3 Jun 1970, this track was reportedly also the A-side of a South Korean single, see Questionable Releases |
 |
R-0098 Sarah Jane (traditional) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 1 Jun 1970
| R-0104 The Ballad of Ira Hayes
(Peter La Farge) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York,
1 Jun 1970 Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian from Arizona, was one of the six US Marines photographed by Joe Rosenthal on 23 Feb 1945 in the iconic World War 2 photograph "Raising The Flag On Iwo Jima" (see ). After the war he succumbed to
alcoholism and died in 1954. His story is told in the 2006 Clint Eastwood film
"Flags Of Our Fathers", where he is played by Adam Beach. (He's previously been
portrayed in films by Lee Marvin and Tony Curtis!). Bob's recording of this song
by Peter La Farge, himself a Native American, is a highlight of this album.
According to Ian Woodward R-0104 was scheduled to be included in a tribute album to
Peter La Farge to be released in 2007. The album, Rare Breed: The Songs Of
Peter La Farge, was finally released in the USA by Slink Productions in
2010, but the included version of the song is by Johnny Cash. |

| R-0101 Mr. Bojangles (Jerry Jeff Walker) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 1 Jun 1970 |
 |
| R-0103 Mary Ann (traditional) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 1 Jun 1970 | |
| R-0102 Big Yellow Taxi
(Joni Mitchell) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York,
4 Jun 1970 This track also appeared on a 1991 Columbia promo CD single Dylan Originals (see 1991 |
 |
| R-0099 A Fool Such As I
(Bill Trader) - Self Portrait
out-take recorded at Columbia Studios, Nashville, TN, 26 Apr 1969 This is the stereo version, a mono version (presumably a reduction from stereo) was released on Columbia 7" singles (R-0099M, see 1974) This song was written by Bill Trader, but is frequently wrongly credited on releases of this album and Columbia singles to "B. Abner" (Buford Abner) - see authorship note here! The original 1952 single release by Hank Snow correctly credits the song! |
 |
|
R-0096 Spanish Is The
Loving Tongue (Charles Badger Clark/Billy Simon) - band version
with backing singers, Self Portrait
out-take recorded at Columbia Studios, Nashville, TN, 24 Apr 1969, not the solo
version R-0072 (stereo)/R-0072M (mono) released in 1971 as a single B-side, which was a 1970 New
Morning out-take. R-0072(M) has three verses, this version omits the second of those. The
solo take released in 2013 on The
Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) is different
from R-0072, but still means the song is released on a regular Dylan album and
no longer shown in red! An unexpected 1974 studio version of the song turned up in
Nov 2018 on the 6CD
Deluxe Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 14 -
More Blood, More Tracks, and a 1975 live version was included in Jun 2019 on the
14CD set Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings. |

Columbia PC 32747 (USA) - detail of rear, scan by Gerd Rundel (all releases)
The promo copy shown has a radio station timing strip on the front sleeve plus a red sticker also found on commercial copies. Gerd Rundel's promo copy with the same timing strip has first release labels and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 32747-2B, Side 2 - P BL 32747-2B.
The second promo copy shown has an orange “SPECIAL PROMOTION” sticker on the front, plus a timing strip, and a “DEMONSTRATION NOT FOR SALE” stamp on the rear. The sleeve was printed in the USA by Shorepak. The record again has first release labels, this time with stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 32747-2C, Side 2 - P BL 32747-2D.
On these first release labels Sarah Jane is uncredited and A Fool Such As I is wrongly credited to "B. Abner". For more information about the incorrect crediting of A Fool Such As I to "B. Abner" on the first release Side 2 record label, see here. Unlike the first Canadian release below, the title ""DYLAN" is the same size on all PC 32747 labels.
Manuel García Jara has a copy of the first release sold in Mexico with grey/white "CBS" stickers on the record labels.
Columbia PC 32747 (USA),
ca. 1975:
 Columbia PC 32747 (USA) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (second release) |
Lars M. Banke has a second release of the Dylan album (PC 32747) with Sarah Jane uncredited on Side 1, while Side 2 has A Fool Such As I correctly credited to "B. Trader". The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 32747-2C, Side 2 - P BL 32747-2C. |

 Columbia PC 32747 (USA) - detail of Side 2, scan by Lars M. Banke (second release, A Fool Such As I is correctly credited to "B. Trader") |
Ger Hemel has a copy of the US second release that was sold in Jamaica. The rear sleeve has a silver sticker with text “MADE IN KINGSTON, JAMAICA BY RECORD SPECIALISTS LTD”. This album was almost certainly made in the USA and exported to Jamaica, where the sticker was affixed. The record has the same labels as shown but different stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 32747-2G, Side 2 - P BL 32747-2D.
Columbia PC 32747 (USA),
after
1976 to mid-1980s (two variants):
 Columbia PC 32747 (USA) - front scan by Sergio Mariano Romay (third release - both variants) |
Gil Lamont has a later copy of PC 32747 in the same sleeve with no red sticker on the front. The label on Side 1 is different in that Sarah Jane is credited to "Arr. Bob Dylan". (Sarah Jane has no credit at all on the first and second release labels.) A Fool Such As I is again correctly credited to "B. Trader" on the Side 2 label. This release corresponds to the Canadian release that can be dated to after 1976. This is the same as Gerd Rundel's third release export copy listed with no barcode on the rear sleeve. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 32747-2E, Side 2 - P-BL 32747-2A. Bob Mazer's copy of PC 32747 with the same labels is probably the same as Gil's. |

(third release)
Sergio Mariano Romay has a copy of this album that now has a barcode on the rear sleeve. The sleeve was made by Shorepak US. The record labels are identical to those of Bob Mazer and Gil Lamont. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL 32747-2K (handwritten), Side 2 - P BL 32747-2A (stamped).
These copies probably overlapped with the JC 32747 copies below!
Columbia JC 32747 (USA), late 1980s:
 Columbia JC 32747 (USA) - front with stickers, scan by Sergio Mariano Romay (first copy) |
Sergio Mariano Romay has a sealed copy bought around 1988/89 which has stickers with "JC 32747" covering up the previous catalogue number of "PC 32747" on the front and spine of the sleeve. The front sleeve also has stickers with "$5.99" price and "THE NICE PRICE". This copy does not have a barcode on the rear sleeve, although his copy of PC 32747 above does. Gerd Rundel has a copy of a 1980s release with “JC 32747” on the left of the centre hole, although it still has "PC 32747" on the front sleeve and spine as Sergio Mariano Romay's copy above, and was again made by Shorepak US. This time the rear sleeve does have a barcode at rear top right. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL 32747-2K (handwritten), Side 2 - P BL-32747-2K (stamped). These copies probably overlapped with the PC 32747 copies above! |

Scans required of the 1990s release! It has a barcode on the rear sleeve. Eddie Cockrell has a promo copy with a gold embossed stamp on the rear sleeve covering the barcode. The Side 1 record label will now have the inverted triangle to the left of the centre hole that was introduced on US Columbia record and cassette labels with Biograph in 1985. |

This album was also released on reel-to-reel tape, in 4-track stereo running at 3¾" per second. All tracks are the standard stereo album versions. The tape reel comes in a black card box, hinged on the left, with a white wrap-around label and a separate label on the top of the box. The "DYLAN" text on the front of the box is proportionally the same size as on the UK front sleeve, but positioned differently. This was the next-to-last Dylan album to be released on reel-to-reel tape, the last tape release being Slow Train Coming in 1979, although none of the intervening albums had tape releases!

 AFRTS RL 28-4/P-14359 USA) - Side 1 scan by Hans Seegers (Dylan) |
This
very rare radio station LP has a selection of songs from the 1973
Dylan album on Side 1,
and songs from Rory Gallagher's 1973 album Tattoo on Side 2. It came in a plain white sleeve.
Full details are in 1973. For other 1970s albums in the same AFRTS series with Bob Dylan on one side and different artists on the other, see International Albums (Various Artist Compilations) 1970s. The 1978 AFRTS single LP release of Bob Dylan At Budokan (RL 21-9/P-18371-72) is not listed there because all tracks on both sides are by Bob Dylan. For that see the Bob Dylan At Budokan page in this section. For a 1981 AFRTS album with Bob Dylan and Art Garfunkel, see International Albums (Various Artists Compilations) 1980-86. |

detail of rear, scan by Gerd Rundel (first
and second releases, "COLUMBIA RECORDS OF CANADA LTD.")
Gerd Rundel has three copies of the regular Canadian release. Both the sleeve and record of all three were made in Canada. The records have 1970s style labels with the ring of Columbia logos.
The first release record has red Columbia labels with Sarah Jane uncredited as on the US first release and A Fool Such As I wrongly credited to "B. Abner" as on the US first release. The title "DYLAN" is significantly smaller than the titles of the second and third release labels. The record of this first release copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-32747-1A, Side 2 - BL-32747-1A.
The second release record has red Columbia labels with Sarah Jane uncredited as on the US first release and A Fool Such As I correctly credited to "B. Trader" as on the US second release. The record of the second copy again has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-32747-1A, Side 2 - BL-32747-1A. Both of these releases were manufactured by Columbia Records of Canada Ltd.
|
|
Both the rear sleeve and the record labels of the third release now have "CBS RECORDS CANADA LTD." instead of the earlier "COLUMBIA RECORDS OF CANADA LTD.". Columbia Records of Canada Ltd. was renamed CBS Records Canada Ltd. in late 1976, so this release is after then. On the Side 1 record label Sarah Jane is credited to "Arr. Bob Dylan" as on the second US release. There is a mistake on the Side 2 record label with "CBS, Inc." shown as just "CBS, In". The record of the third copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-32747-1B-2HDZK:, Side 2 - BL-32747-1A. | |||

"Dylan" - stereo vinyl LP releases, Columbia PC 32747 (Canada for export), 1973:
 Columbia PC 32747 (Canada for export) - front with Swedish seal, scan by Lars M. Banke (first copy) |
Lars M. Banke has a copy of the third Canadian release with a Swedish
seal across the sleeve opening and taped rings obscuring the "Columbia" logos on
the record labels ("MANUFACTURED BY CBS RECORDS CANADA LTD" is still visible). The Swedish text says that if the seal is broken the album will be replaced only
if it was faulty when bought. Lars M. Banke also has a copy of the second Canadian PC 32747 release bought in Scandinavia that has had the "Columbia" logos on the front, rear and spine of the sleeve obscured with black circular stickers. The Columbia Canada information at the bottom of the rear sleeve is not obscured. On the record labels there are again black ring-shaped stickers over the ring of "Columbia" logos. |

Lars has another third release copy where "Columbia" is roughly obscured with marker pen once on both the front and rear sleeves. The ring of Columbia logos on the record labels has this time been obscured with black marker pen, not with ring-shaped stickers (this may have been from an inked rubber stamp). The record of this copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL 32737 1B [plus some signs/symbols], Side 2 - BL 32737 1A.

"Dylan" - stereo compact cassette release, Columbia PCT 32747 (Canada), 1974:
 Columbia PCT 32747 (Canada) - front scan by Gerd Rundel |
This cassette is grey with
yellow paper labels. It was released by Columbia Records of Canada Ltd.
before the name change to CBS in 1976, so is probably the first Canadian
cassette release. More scans of this release required! |

"Dylan" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS S 69049
(UK), 1973, re-released late 1970s/early 1980s; stereo
LP reissue - CBS 32286 (UK), 1982 to late 1980s; CBS S 69049/32286 (Ireland),
1980s:
"DYLAN" on the front sleeve at top
right is much larger on the UK releases than others worldwide! There
were at least seven releases of this album in Britain: first in 1973 as "CBS 69049" with old-style
labels (my copy), in late 1970s/early 1980s again as "CBS 69049" with new-style orange/yellow labels
(Gerd Rundel's copy), then in 1982 and 1983 as "CBS 32286" still with orange/yellow labels
(three variants - Mick Robinson and Gerd's copies), and then later in the 1980s
again as "CBS 32286" but with red labels (two variants - Gerd and Hans Seegers'
copies).
Lily Of The West is misspelled "Lilly Of The
West" on the Side 1 record labels of all the UK releases!
Fortunately A Fool Such As I
is correctly credited to "Trader" on the Side 1 record labels of all the UK
releases.
CBS S 69049 (UK), 1973, re-released late 1970s/early 1980s:
|
|
Hans Seegers has an acetate of CBS 69049 (UK), with plain white labels
and matrix numbers Side 1 - S 69049 A 1, Side 2 - S 69049 B 1. My copy shown has
"69049" on the front sleeve and spine, and "S 69049" on the record labels. The
sleeve was
made by
Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. The record has stamped matrix
numbers: Side 1 - S 69049 A1, Side 2 - S 69049 B1. My 1973 copy of the UK album has a printed CBS inner sleeve, with a "magazine" called "THE INNER SLEEVE". Both sides of the sleeve contain illustrations of CBS albums of the time, including Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, plus albums by Roger McGuinn (see 1973), Janis Joplin and Hammond/Bloomfield/Dr. John. The rear inner sleeve shows the then CBS postal address of CBS Records, 28/30 Theobalds Road, London WC1. John Martin has a copy of CBS 69049 with the same labels as mine but with a different inner sleeve, "THE INNER SLEEVE Issue 5", featuring Johnny Cash, Johnny Mathis, Johnny Nash, Barbra Streisand, etc. I assume CBS UK used whichever version of the sleeve was current when records were sent out to dealers. |

The late 1970s/early 1980s copy comes in the same sleeve as my 1973 release with “Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd.” on bottom of the rear sleeve, but the record is in a plain white inner sleeve. The record now has orange/yellow CBS labels with "LC|0149" in a capsule added to the labels. "DYLAN" is printed twice above the centre hole (the previous and some later releases just have it once). "MADE IN ENGLAND" is still at the bottom of the labels. The record of the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS-S-69049-A-2, Side 2 - CBS-69049/32286-B3.
CBS 32286 (UK), 1982, 1983 (two variants):
 CBS 32286 (UK/Ireland) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (1982, 1983 and mid-1980s releases) |
The 1982 release has a new catalogue number, CBS 32286. The sleeve is still printed by Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd., and was also used for the Irish release below. "LC|0149" is now printed in a capsule on the rear sleeve at bottom right. The record still has orange/yellow CBS labels with "MADE IN ENGLAND" now printed in the circumference text. On the record labels "DYLAN" is printed twice as for the last "CBS S 69049" release. The text layout to the left and right of the centre hole is the same as for the last "CBS S 69049" release, but the arrows below "STEREO" to the left of the centre hole are now missing. A US catalogue number "KC 32747" is printed on the second text line to the right of the centre hole (the US catalogue number was actually PC 32747). The record of the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers Side 1 - CBS-32286-A4, Side 2 - 69049, CBS-32286-B3. The 1983 release comes in the same sleeve but has has significantly different CBS record labels, still orange/yellow. "DYLAN" is now printed only once, "LC|0149" is now printed at high top right, the "33⅓RPM" playing speed is now printed to the left of the centre hole above "Stereo", which is now in upper/lowercase. Both Mick Robinson and Gerd Rundel have copies of this album. The record of Gerd's first 1983 release copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 -32286 (stamped), CBS S 69049 A2 (handwritten), Side 2 - 32286 (stamped), S 69049 B2 (stamped). |

Gerd Rundel has a later 1983 copy in the same sleeve but where the record labels now have CBS copyright info at the bottom. The US catalogue number "KC 32747" has disappeared from the second text line to the right of the centre hole, but apart from these two differences, the record labels are the same. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 32286 (stamped), CBS S 69049 A2 (handwritten), Side 2 - 69049 (handwritten), CBS 32286 B3 (handwritten).
CBS 32286 (UK), mid-1980s (two variants):
The mid-1980s release comes in
the same sleeve, but the record now has red CBS labels with a similar
text layout to the 1982 release labels, the playing speed of "33⅓
RPM" is now back to the right of the centre hole instead of the left,
and "STEREO" is again upper case.
|
|
There are two different record label variants. Gerd Rundel's variant 1 copy has "DYLAN" printed twice above the centre hole and the catalogue number on the right is "CBS 32286". The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS-32286-A4 (handwritten), Side 2 - CBS-(scratched out)-B6 (handwritten) with "32286" stamped above scratched out area. Hans Seegers' variant 2 copy has "DYLAN" printed once only and the catalogue number is shown just as "32286" instead of "CBS 32286". There are also differences in the song title layout as shown in the detail scans and the music copyright details are arranged differently. |

Lars M. Banke has a copy of the mid-1980s release variant 2 where the black text on the Side 1 record label is missing. The Side 2 label is the same as Hans' copy shown above. The matrix numbers of this record are: Side 1 - CBS 32286 A 4 (handwritten), Side 2 - CBS 32286 B 6 (stamped after the original handwritten catalogue number has been erased!).
CBS S 69049/32286 (Ireland), 1980s:
 CBS S 69049 (Ireland) - Side 1 scan by Gerd Rundel (1983 release) |
This very rare Irish release comes in the 1983 UK sleeve also made by Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. The sleeve has catalogue number "CBS 32286" while the orange/yellow record labels still have catalogue number "CBS S 69049", but with a different text layout from the UK late 1970s/early 1980s record labels with the same catalogue number shown above. The typesetting was obviously done in a rush, because there are several errors. Lily Of The West is misspelled "Lilly Of The West" on the Side 1 record label as all the UK releases above, and also Can't Help Falling In Love is misspelled "Can't Help Falling IIn Love". On the Side 2 record label Warner Bros is misspelled as "Warnee Bros" and Spanish Is The Loving Tongue is mistitled "Spanish Is A Loving Tongue". The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS S 69049 A2 (handwritten), Side 2 - S 69049 B2 (stamped). |

"Dylan" - stereo compact cassette releases, CBS 40-69049 (UK), late 1970s; CBS 40-32286 (UK), 1982 (two variants):
 CBS 40-69049 (UK) - outside of cassette insert, scan by Manuel García Jara (1970s release) |
These cassette releases are undated, but they have Dolby noise reduction, not present on early cassettes. The tracks are reordered in that Mr. Bojangles is now the last track on Side 1 and The Ballad Of Ira Hayes is the first track on Side 2, the opposite way round to the album. As with the UK LP releases, Lily Of The West is misspelled "Lilly Of The West" every time it occurs: twice on the front of the inserts, in the tracklist on the inside of the inserts and on both Side 1s. Again as with the UK LP releases, A Fool Such As I is correctly credited to "B. Trader" on the inside of the inserts. The cassette cases are light grey with blue or black printed text, there are no paper labels. |

|
 CBS 40-32286 (UK) - cassette Side 2 scan by Wayne Carr (1980s release) |
The first release has the original catalogue number of CBS 69049, so probably dates from the late 1970s. The second release dates from the 1980s as it comes from after the catalogue number change from CBS 69049 to CBS 32286 (see UK vinyl releases above). Paul Shenton's 1980s copy has a longer insert with a cut-off CBS Nice Price voucher to send off for album and cassette racks at a reduced price. It's possible that Wayne Carr's 1980s insert also originally had this cut-off voucher.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara, Wayne Carr and Paul Shenton for information and pictures.

 CBS S 69049 (NL) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (small "DYLAN" like the US release, all releases) |
Thanks to Rinus for scans of the original 1973 Dutch release with plain orange labels - this has "Columbia" whitened out on the front sleeve, "NL printed in Holland" on the rear sleeve and "Made In Holland" on the record labels. On the Side 2 label A Fool Such As I is wrongly credited to "B. Abner". On the other hand, unlike the UK releases, Lily Of The West is correct! The Dutch CBS S 69049 mid/late 1970s releases again have "Columbia" whitened out on the front sleeve, "NL printed in Holland" on the rear sleeve and "Made In Holland" on the record labels. The record now has orange/yellow CBS labels. A Fool Such As I is again wrongly credited to "B. Abner", while Lily Of The West is again correct. |

|
The 1980s releases have the new catalogue number "CBS 32286". On the front sleeve the US logo with catalogue number PC 32747 has been whitened out.
The 1983 release with the new catalogue number "CBS 32286" has a record that still has orange/yellow CBS labels. Directly equivalent to the record labels of the UK releases above, "MADE IN HOLLAND" has been moved to the circumference text on the right and there is no text at the bottom of the labels. On the Side 2 label A Fool Such As I is still wrongly credited to "B. Abner" instead of "B. Trader". The late 1980s release comes in the same sleeve but this time the record has plain red CBS labels. "MADE IN HOLLAND" is again in the circumference text on the right along with CBS copyright information. There is again no text at the bottom of the labels. On the Side 2 label A Fool Such As I is still wrongly credited to "B. Abner".
Lars M. Banke has a Dutch copy bought in Stockholm with a gold CBS Records Sweden promo stamp on the rear sleeve at top right. The record of this copy has the same 1983 orange/yellow labels as Manuel's copy.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara, Wayne Carr and Lars M. Banke for information and scans.

 Columbia COL 32286 1 (NL) - front scan by Gerd Rundel |
The 1991 release has a record with red Columbia labels. The front sleeve is the same as for both 1980s releases. The rear has some differences: there is now a barcode at top right, but the "LC|0149" capsule is missing at bottom right. The record comes in a 1991 “DYLAN ORIGINALS” inner sleeve with details of other albums in the series. The catalogue number on the labels is "32286 1". The album title "DYLAN" is missing from the labels which just have "BOB DYLAN", which is the same as for releases from Spain, Italy and Greece. A Fool Such As I is again wrongly credited to “B. Abner” on Side 2 label. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 01-32286-1A-1, Side 2 - 01-32286-1B-1. |

"Dylan" - stereo cassette releases:
CBS 40-32286 (NL), 1982; CBS/Columbia 40-32286 (NL), 1990s:
There must
be a Dutch cassette release with catalogue number CBS 40-69049 - scans required!
 CBS 40-32286 (NL) - outside of cassette insert, scan by Pierre van der Pol (both releases) |
The inserts of these Dutch releases date from the 1980s because they have has Dolby noise reduction and the new "Nice Price" catalogue number 40-32286, introduced in 1982. The inserts have "Printed in Holland" and the cassettes have "Made in Holland", while both have the "BIEM/STEMRA" logo. Lily Of The West is correctly spelled. Both cassettes are light grey with black text directly on to them, there are no paper labels. They are dated "1973". Pierre van der Pol's cassette has the Columbia logo, which dates it to the 1990s after the name change from CBS in 1991, but still has the same CBS inserts. Thanks to Pierre van der Pol and Paul Shenton for information and pictures. |

"Dylan" - stereo vinyl LP release: CBS Sugar S 69049 (Italy), 15 Jan 1974, re-released 1976:
|
|
This Italian album released in 1974 was made by CBS Sugar S.p.A. and distributed by Distribuzione Messaggerie Musicali, both Milan. The mastering date of "15/1/74" is stamped on both sides of the record in addition to the matrix numbers. The sleeve has two folded-over flaps on the rear, top and bottom, with unique white borders. It comes in a generic printed CBS Sugar inner sleeve with details of contemporary albums including Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid. The record has orange CBS labels with an "SIAE" copyright stamp on Side 1. On Side 2, A Fool Such As I is wrongly credited to "B. Abner". The copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S CI 69049*1L, Side 2 - S CI 69049*2L, where "*" is a rhombus symbol like the picture shown on right. Manuel García Jara submitted scans of this album much earlier, which I missed - apologies for that. His record has matrix numbers: Side 1 - S CI 69049 1L 15/1/74, Side 2 - S CI 69049 2L 15/1/74 (pressing date 15 Jan 1974). Manuel's album is identical except for the position of the "SIAE" stamp on the Side 1 label, which is still on the left but slightly higher. As the labels were hand stamped this is to be expected, but both copies are shown for information. Manuel's copy has the same matrix numbers, including the rhombus symbol as on the right. |

 1930s Spanish Republican flag, picture from Manuel García Jara |
Release of this album in Spain under the Franco regime was initially delayed because the prominent colours (red-yellow-violet) were the same as the 1930s Spanish Republican flag! CBS eventually convinced the censor to release the album because the sleeve was used worldwide. This information is from the book "Veneno en dosis camufladas. La censura en los discos de pop-rock durante el franquismo [Poison in camouflaged doses. Censorship in pop-rock albums during the Franco regime]" by Xavier Valiño, ed. Milenio (thanks to Manuel García Jara). |

(Spain) - detail of rear, scan by Wayne Carr (all 1970s releases except second
1974 variant, dated 1973, Discos CBS address "Calle
Princesa 1, Madrid-13")
Wayne Carr's copy has very dark orange CBS labels with song titles in Spanish and English. Like the Spanish releases of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits and Nashville Skyline, this album has no title on the record labels, just "Bob Dylan". The first copy of the album had a CBS Spain insert listing current albums dated 31 Dec 1973, although as stated the sleeve is dated 1974 in the printer details. Lars M. Banke has a copy where the rear sleeve has "(P) 197 " instead of "(P) 1973" on the bottom line of text. On this copy the record labels are a more normal orange colour and have the text to the right of the centre hole in the same order as those of Wayne Carr's copy, but the lines have different spacing. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 32747-1B, Side 2 - P BL 32747-1A.
Manuel García Jara's third variant copy has the same sleeve but normal orange CBS labels with a different text layout to the right of the centre hole. On the first and second variants the CBS copyright information comes under "SGAE", on Manuel's much rarer copy this is on the bottom line of the text. Manuel's copy has the same matrix numbers as Lars' first copy: Side 1 - PAL 32747-1B, Side 2 - PBL 32747-1A. Lars M. Banke has a second copy with a fourth variant where "SGAE" is between the CBS copyright information and the "Déposito Legal" line. Lars's copy has matrix number PAL 32747-1A 17 on Side 1.

The next release of CBS S 69049 again has the same sleeve as the first pressing (with "(P) 1973" on the rear as expected) and with the Discos CBS address still "Calle Princesa 1". The record now has orange/yellow CBS labels. There are two label variants - variant 1 has no arrows under "ESTEREO" left of the centre hole and "33⅓" on a separate line. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL 69049 1B, Side 2 - PBL 69049 1A. The variant 2 labels have different typesetting and arrows under "ESTEREO" and "33⅓" on the same line left of the centre hole. They are similar to those of the 1982 release apart from the catalogue number: this album still has "S 69049". The copy of the variant 2 record shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL 32747-1A 17, Side 2 - PBL 32747-1A.
CBS S 32011 (Spain), 1982:
 CBS S 32011 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (1982 release) |
The album was re-released in 1982 with a new catalogue number, CBS S 32011. The sleeve was again printed by Offset ALG, Madrid and dated 1982. The address of Discos CBS S.A. is now Paseo de la Castellana 93, Madrid-16. The record has orange/yellow CBS labels with titles in Spanish and English and the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 32011-A0, Side 2 - 69049-BO. This is the rarest of the Spanish Dylan releases. |

Manuel's CBS 32286 (PR) copy has CBS "PRECIO REDONDO [ROUND PRICE = NICE PRICE]" sticker on the front sleeve.

The sleeve of the last CBS release from the late 1980s/early 1990s has two differences from the previous releases of the 1980s: the CBS logo is missing from the front at top left, and the rear has "CBS 32286" and a barcode at top right, not present on the 1980s rear sleeves. The record was again made by Technodisco S.A. and the circumference text now includes the Tecnodisco telephone number.

 CBS/Sony 32286 (Spain) - front with "Nice Price" sticker, scan by Manuel García Jara (1992 release - logo again missing at top left) |
Even though this album was out of print in the rest of the world, it was reissued in Spain in 1992 on the CBS/Sony label (CBS changed to Columbia in 1991 in all other countries than Spain and Japan, and in Spain the Columbia name was still owned by RCA). This album was made in 1992 by Tecnodisco S.A. for CBS/Sony. The record company logo is again missing from the front at top left, and the rear has "CBS 32286" at top right, but not the expected barcode as on the last CBS release.

"Dylan" - stereo vinyl test pressing and LP release: CBS S 69049 (Greece), 1973:

 CBS 69049 (Greece), commercial release - detail of Side 1, scan by Hans Seegers |
CBS 69049 (Greece) - detail of rear, scan by Hans Seegers
The Greek test pressing and commercial release of Dylan are very rare. Bob's releases were generally banned in Greece under the military junta regime from 1967 to 1974 - this one was allowed, presumably because they considered it contained no political material. The album was distributed by an Athens company called Music-box. The sleeve was printed in Greece by Fotiadis & Ioannidis. "Music-box" is described as "Exclusive Representative of CBS Records in Greece", although on the 1973 Greek release of Nashville Skyline this has changed to "General Representative of CBS Records in Greece". This information here is in English only, on the 1973 Greek release of Nashville Skyline it is given in English and Greek and the printer's name is missing. The Greek commercial release has dark red labels, not the usual CBS orange. For the Greek releases of Nashville Skyline and Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid see International Albums (Regular).

"Dylan" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS SBP 234429 (Australia), Nov 1973, re-released mid-1970s and late 1970s:
There are also two variants of the orange/yellow labels, released in the mid-1970s and late 1970s. The second has longer copyright text along the bottom of the labels. A.R.C. changed its name to CBS Records Australia Limited on 17 Oct 1977, and after that date the longer bottom edge text includes the CBS copyright information. (Stuart Moore says that the label change may not have occurred till late 1978 or early 1979, Bob Dylan At Budokan from 1978 still does not have a CBS copyright nor does Masterpieces, Slow Train Coming from 1979 does have the CBS copyright.) Stuart Moore has a copy with mixed labels - Side 1 has the shorter copyright text, but Side 2 has the longer copyright text. Lars M. Banke has a copy where both sides have the shorter copyright text.

The 1974 Yugoslav release of CBS 69049 was released by Suzy Records of Zagreb (now Croatia) on behalf of CBS. The rear sleeve is different from those of subsequent releases as shown. The record was pressed by Jugoton, also of Zagreb, and has plain orange CBS labels, with "SAKOJ" and "(P) 1974 CBS Inc." on the labels, as well as "Strana" instead of "Side". On Side 1 Sarah Jane is incorrectly shown as "SARA JANES". On Side 2 A Fool Such As I is incorrectly credited to "B. Abner, Le Fevre Sing Pub Corp." (this was actually the correct publishing company for the song of the same name written by Buford Abner, see authorship note here). Spanish Is The Loving Tongue is correct, unlike the 1984 release below. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - ZP ULS-87A 11474, Side 2 - ZP ULS-87B 11474 - "11474" is the mastering date (11 Apr 1974).

The late 1970s release from Suzy Records has a different rear sleeve, with the Yugoslav information in grey text in a black box at bottom right. The record was again pressed by Jugoton and now has orange/yellow CBS labels, with "SOKOJ" ("SAKOJ" became "SOKOJ" in 1976) and "(P) 1974 CBS Inc." on the labels, but now has "Side" instead of "Strana". On Side 1 Sarah Jane is now incorrectly shown as "SARA JAMES"! On Side 2 A Fool Such As I is still incorrectly credited to "B. Abner, Le Fevre Sing Pub Corp.". |

The 1984 Yugoslav release of CBS 69049 was also released by Suzy Records and has "CBS 69049 SOKOJ (P) 1984 CBS Inc." on the record labels. The rear sleeve has different Yugoslav text, both at bottom right and printed vertically on the right edge. The record again has orange/yellow CBS labels. The pressing company is not shown. A Fool Such As I is still incorrectly credited to "B. Abner". Spanish Is The Loving Tongue is incorrectly shown as "Spanish Is The Loving Langue". Sarah Jane is now correct. |

The record was again pressed by Jugoton and has red CBS labels. A Fool Such As I is still incorrectly credited to "B. Abner, Le Fevre Sing Pub Corp." but Spanish Is The Loving Tongue is now shown correctly. Sarah Jane is now incorrectly shown as "Sara James".

Original CD Releases
"Dylan" - promo and commercial stereo CD releases, Sony Records SRCS 6163 (Japan),
1 Dec 1991:
This CD is now long out of print, so is very scarce - rumour has it
that Bob himself ordered it to be deleted. Dylan
was
available in the USA in the 1990s on cassette only. The album is not available in the UK
in any form as it has been deleted from the Columbia "Nice Price"
catalogue. Because of its scarcity, all CD copies command high prices when they
become available in places like eBay!

|

The CD release of this 1973 album was renamed Bob Dylan (A Fool Such As I) in Europe (after what was considered the most popular track), but remained just Dylan in Japan. Sony Records SRCS 6163 (Japan) had a black, red, white, yellow and blue obi with the price ¥1,800 (¥1,748 plus sales tax) and dated "91-12-1" (1 Dec 1991). The picture on the front of the Japanese CD is a wider crop of the LP cover than the one on the Dutch release. Also, the tracklisting appears on the front of the Dutch release but not on the front of the Japanese insert. The rear inserts are completely different - the Japanese insert uses the rear album picture, while the Dutch insert is plain. The Japanese release has a lyrics booklet in English and Japanese. Wil Gielen has a promo copy with a numbered promo sticker on the rear insert and Japanese characters indicating a sample in the clear centre of the CD. This CD and Wayne Carr's commercial CD have the matrix number "DPA-1150 1" in the centres of the CDs. Wil's commercial CD has a second matrix number "DPA-1550 2".
In "The Bridge" issue 13, Autumn 2002, Alan Hoaksey lists three CD releases of this album, the two on this page and one for the USA as Columbia CK 32747 from Apr 1983. I have no confirmation of such a US CD release, although "PC 32747" was the catalogue number of the original US release. Both John Howells and Bob Stacy have told me Columbia vinyl albums were reissued in the 1980s with "CK" prefixes replacing the previous "PC" prefixes, and that Dylan CD releases did not commence until Infidels in 1984, with earlier albums being released on CD for the first time between 1984 and 1990. Therefore 1983's "CK 32747" was probably a vinyl reissue - confirmation required!
Thanks to Ian Stewart, Raoul Verolleman, Mark Goedegebuur and Wayne Carr for information about the Japanese CD and scans.
"Bob Dylan (A Fool Such As I)" - CD release, Columbia COL CD 32286 (NL), 1991:
 Columbia COL CD 32286 (NL) - front (my copy) |
My copy has an 8-page 1991 "DYLAN ORIGINALS 30 YEARS ON COLUMBIA" "Nice Price" catalogue stapled inside the front insert, on thinner paper than the actual insert. Jack from Canada's copy was bought in the UK and has a "MADE IN ENGLAND" sticker on the rear of the jewel case - thanks to Hans Seegers for confirming this is incorrect. All European copies were sourced from Heemstede, Holland. Thanks to Dr. Walter Roedl for pointing out that the CD itself was made in Austria. His CD has different text round the clear centre than mine and comes in a jewel case with a black CD tray with no "Nice Price" sticker. Anssi Sallmén fears that this copy is counterfeit because he has never seen CDs from DADC Austria with that kind of CD matrix area. The "MASTERED BY DADC AUSTRIA" text is always written on a silver band (as my copy). Anssi has never seen an authentic DADC Austria CD that has a dark band between two silver ones. |

This massive set is the latest in a series of "Complete Columbia Album Collections" featuring artists such as Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and even Blue Oyster Cult. The CD version of the set includes 41 Dylan albums in card sleeves, 14 of which have been remastered for this project, plus a 2CD set of previously released non-album tracks entitled Side Tracks. The albums exclude all compilations and The Bootleg Series sets, but do include the deleted 1973 Dylan album, also see 1973, and the extra 2CD set Side Tracks includes one side of the 1971 single George Jackson (Acoustic version), R-0085, see 1971. The set is therefore listed in 2013. The set also includes a hard cover book with extensive new liner notes and previously unseen photos.
All the CDs come in card sleeves. The European sleeves are made of thicker card than the US sleeves, but they are otherwise identical, so are not shown. The catalogue number on the sleeve is "88691924312JK13" plus "DISC 14". The CDs are different in detail, the US Dylan CD has catalogue number "88691924312D14", whereas the European CD has catalogue number "88691924312-14". This album has been remastered, so is the third Dylan album remastered for this project and the first official appearance of this album on CD in the USA or UK. The European CD was made in the EU (probably Austria). The US and European copyright details are printed at the bottom of the Bob Dylan CDs, and round the circumference for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan onwards, so I haven't shown them for the later CDs.
For more details of the set, see International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 2010s.
Thanks to Sonny Boy McFitzson and Éamonn Ó Catháin for news that The Complete Album Collection will be released in Japan in four decade-related parts, with the intention to release them all in 2014. The Blu-Spec CD2 specification CDs come in card sleeves with top obis, printed inner sleeves and "SONY MUSIC" instead of "COLUMBIA" on the discs. Bob's 1970s albums from Self Portrait to Slow Train Coming were released in Japan on 23 Apr 2014 in card sleeves as Blu-Spec CD2 discs numbered Sony Music SICP 30482 to SICP 30500.
